Cool Balancing Boxes Bedside Table from Porro Furniture

John — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 09:40:25 +0000

I have to say that I love this bedside table from Porro Furniture called "Balancing Boxes". It was created by the Swedish design group "Front", whose four members include Anna Lindgren, Katja SÃ¤vstrÃ¶m, Sofia Lagerkvist and Charlotte von der Lancken. The concept of boxes providing storage and acting as a table top surface is an insightful idea. The way the boxes pivot on themselves melds both art and furniture into one statement.

Meet the Horus Coffee Table which pays homage to this modern wonder, in ancient style. This not so ordinary table has an integrated dual speaker system, LED lighting and an iPod dock.

A little fresh air goes a long way and that is the concept behind the Oxygen Of Green Table.
